Wii U setback hits Nintento profit

Nintendo says its profit for the first nine months of the fiscal year fell 30% because of languishing sales of its Wii U home consoles and game software.

The Japanese maker of Super Mario video games reported a 10.2bn yen (€72m) profit from April to December, down from 14.55bn yen (€103m) a year earlier. It did not break down quarterly numbers.
